Chakra Wisdom Oracle Cards by Tori Hartman

This is an incredible card deck. There's nothing not to like. The packaging is great. It lends itself to easy storage, as well as easy access to pop the cards out for a read anytime. The instructional booklet written by Tori Hartman is a nice read filled with insight. It is moving and inspiring, and goes much deeper into the subject of energy work than most teachings I've read. The colors and visuals are a fantastic way of better understanding the seven major chakras. The cards themselves are beautiful without being too girly. The art and the legends involved with each card really capture a spirit in the same way a really good Tarot deck would, but without being overly complicated and mystical. The readings in the book are great. The layouts are easy to follow, and the meditations can really take you to some interesting new places. They say the doorway to wisdom always opens from within, and this card deck is a great traveling companion to bring on those inward journeys. Obviously, I love it, and can't say enough good things about it. I'm very grateful to have these cards and plan on using them often. FTC Disclosure: I received this card deck for free for review purposes from a kind representative of the publisher. I was not financially compensated for my review or coerced in any way. The opinion expressed is my own honest assessment of the product. It rocks. You'll love it.

Good-Bye Bumps by Dr. Wayne Dyer and Saje Dyer

The folks at Hay House were nice enough to send me a copy of Dr. Wayne Dyer's

new book he wrote with his daughter Saje. It's called "Good-bye Bumps: Talking

to What's Bugging You." I was not paid for my review, opinions expressed are all

my own. I read this book to my five year old son. He seemed to enjoy it, and get

a lot out of the subject matter. I'm interested in seeing if he applies what he

learned, pretty confident he will. The artwork is great, it's interesting and

colorful without being too girly for boys to tune out. The story is about how

when Saje Dyer was 5 years old she had some facial bumps that caused her some

embarassment and pain. Her father gave her an idea. She could try talking to

what it was that was bothering her, and disempower its hold on her. It's heady

stuff for a five year old, but it's presented well, and easily understood if

given a chance. My son was helped a lot by the list at the end, where the little

girl reiterates the idea with bullet points on a chalkboard. Great book, great

ideas that can change ones perspective and change the lives of some great kids.

The Third Rule of Ten is even more exciting than the first two Tenzing Norbu novels. Once again the ex-Tibetan monk/private investigator is in way over his head, and has to rely on everything he's got including some old friends. There are great unexpected twists and turns, that of course you come to expect in a great mystery story. Ten's characterization is so well crafted, he's almost impossible not to like. We can all identify with his self criticism, and his desire to do the right thing while often doing the opposite and having to look deep and find self forgiveness. All three novels have been action-packed, but this one takes the cake. The plot is also hard to second guess. It would make a fantastic movie. I think Jet Li is the obvious choice to play Ten. I hope somebody in Hollywood is working on that. What's great about The Third Rule of Ten is the underlying story; it's about accepting our human frailties and doing the best you can. There are many times when the most enlightened of us are going to screw up, but you just dust yourself off, and try again. This case is definitely Ten's most interesting, but I can't really say too much about it without giving away spoilers. If you enjoyed the first two books, you will certainly love this one. I received a copy of this book for free for review purposes, from the nice folks at Hay House Publishing. The opinion expressed in this review is my own, honest assessment.
